Have you ever been interested in playing roller derby? Intrigued about the idea of a full contact sport on skates? Join our skater workshops – the first step to becoming a member of the Ithaca League of Women Rollers.

Level 1 Workshops

Workshop practices will prepare you for level 1 skills testing and cannot be joined mid-session. Each workshop will consist of 6 – 2 hour practice sessions followed by a level 1 basic skating skills assessment. Upon completion of the workshop and skills testing, skaters will be invited to join ILWR’s freshmeat program; where you will be prepared for level 2 contact skills assessments. From here skaters will officially join league activities and will be an active member of ILWR!

Freshmeat practices are held on Sunday and Tuesday evenings.
